Description
The Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP Bolt 30-06 Spgfld 22″ Barrel, Nikon Scope Synthetic Stock, 4rd is a ready-to-hunt rifle package. It’s a bolt-action centerfire rifle chambered in the classic .30-06 Springfield, featuring a 22-inch barrel, a synthetic stock, and coming with a factory-mounted Nikon 3-9x40mm scope. This package is designed for hunters who want a reliable, accurate out-of-the-box solution without the hassle and extra cost of piecing together a rifle and optic. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various loads through this platform, and here’s what you need to know.

- Classic .30-06 Springfield Chambering: Offers immense versatility, capable of taking everything from Missouri whitetail and feral hogs to elk and bear with the right ammunition selection.

Let’s talk about that 22-inch barrel. It’s a sweet spot for the .30-06, providing a great balance between maneuverability in a blind or thick brush and maintaining enough velocity for ethical shots at longer ranges. The synthetic stock is rigid and, honestly, a bit utilitarian in feel, but that’s not a knock—it’s built for function, not fancy checkering. The real value here is the Nikon scope. While Nikon is no longer in the riflescope business, the optics they produced were clear and reliable, and having it mounted from the factory means no gunsmithing required to get a solid base. You just need to perform the final zero, which is a straightforward process. At a price point of $527.05, this package delivers serious value by bundling two major components.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is the quintessential first big-game rifle for a new hunter or a perfect, no-fuss backup gun for a seasoned hand. If you’re looking for a single, versatile tool to handle 99% of North American hunting and you don’t want to spend weeks researching separate rifles, bases, rings, and scopes, this Savage package eliminates the guesswork. It’s also ideal for the hunter who values simplicity and durability over custom aesthetics. The package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, following all applicable regulations.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The out-of-the-box readiness is the top selling point. The AccuTrigger is genuinely excellent for a factory rifle. The .30-06 caliber is a legendary performer with ubiquitous ammo availability. The synthetic stock is tough as nails and maintenance-free. The value for money is hard to beat when you factor in the scope.
Cons: The stock’s ergonomics are basic and may not suit all shooters for a perfect cheek weld. The detachable magazine can feel a bit plasticky, though I’ve never had a functional issue. Since Nikon exited the market, warranty support for the scope is nonexistent, but they are known for their durability. Here’s the thing—for the price, you’re getting a capable hunting rig, not a custom benchrest queen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already zeroed?
A: No, it is bore-sighted from the factory. This means it’s aligned well enough to get you on paper at 25 or 50 yards, but you must fire it and adjust the turrets to achieve a precise zero for your chosen ammunition. This is a standard and necessary step for any new rifle/scope combo.
Q: Can I use other .30-06 ammo, like military surplus?
A: Yes, the rifle is chambered for standard .30-06 Springfield ammunition. It will safely fire commercial hunting rounds, target loads, and most surplus. As always, start with a box of a few different brands and bullet weights to see what your specific barrel prefers for the best accuracy. The 4-round detachable magazine handles all standard cartridge overall lengths without issue.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With the AccuTrigger properly adjusted and using quality ammunition it likes, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy is possible, though 1 to 1.5 MOA is a more common and still very hunt-worthy expectation. I’ve consistently achieved around 1.25-inch groups at 100 yards with 180-grain Federal Premium soft points. That’s more than enough for any ethical big-game shot.
If you need a dependable, versatile hunting rifle that’s ready to go the moment your FFL transfer is complete, the Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP package deserves a long, hard look. Check its availability on our site.
